SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Fra Bartolomeo, also known as Baccio della Porta, was a Florentine painter of the early sixteenth century. He entered the Dominican order in 1500, resumed painting in 1504 and collaborated at different periods with Mariotto Albertinelli. Drawing also supported his investigations: a study of the Madonna and Child in the Metropolitan Museum reveals his use of articulated wooden models to establish poses and arrange drapery.
In A Small Town on the Crest of a Slope, drawn in pen and brown ink in 1504–07, he combined observation of the Tuscan countryside with recollections of an engraving by Dürer. Two small panels painted around 1497, now in the Uffizi, depict episodes from Christ’s childhood. Their reverse sides form a monochrome Annunciation, originally visible when the tabernacle was closed.
